¹² Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But ^(A)when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

¹⁹ A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

^17 (A)Do not let your heart envy sinners,
But ^(B)be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day;
^18 (C)For surely there is a ^[a]hereafter,
And your hope will not be cut off.
